#myFPRA

Each month we will be featuring stories from our members about
shares her #myFPRA story.
When I moved to Ocala 15 years ago and started working in PR, I was not on the FPRA bandwagon. At all. I had never been in an association like FPRA either as a student or professional, and I didn’t see the need or value in it. Then I came to a meeting…and another meeting…and another. I joined, was immediately put on a committee, and the rest is history. Now that I’ve served as chapter president, on the state board for three years, earned my APR and CPRC and received Local Image and Golden Image awards, you might say I caught the FPRA bug, and the effects stuck.
FPRA makes me better at my job, helps me continually learn, and gave me the inner-drive to push myself to new heights I only penned as goals in a journal. FPRA connections and networking helped me gain new ideas and skill sets that in turn prepared me for different job opportunities along my career path. I’ve grown professionally and personally over my dozen years in this association. Without it, I don’t know just how different my life would be…That’s #myFPRA story.
